Breakfast Fig and Nut "Cookies"

Continuing with my attempts to force myself to eat breakfast in the morning, I've made these delectable "cookies." Similar to the Quaker Oats breakfast cookies but not even remotely as gross or processed, these do not resemble muffin tops as the description says. They're definitely dense and cakey, but in a good way. Because I had a recent revelation that I love Fig Newtons, I was not afraid to try dried figs. It was fun to make something with them. These cookies do taste "healthy" but they're very good. I am hoping they keep up for the rest of the week so I can eat them for breakfast! I would make these again. They are very yummy.

These oversized cookies are more like muffin tops, but calling them cookies makes them seem a bit more indulgent. They're chock-full of exercise-friendly ingredients like dried fruit and nuts. They're ideal with a glass of skim milk for breakfast after a morning workout.
